Top of Foot Pain
Top of the foot pain is a general term that is used by patients to
describe pain in the top surface of the foot. It is common injury amongst
runners and sporting people. A sharp pain on the top of my foot which
is usually around the second metatarsal (in line with the second toe).
Sometimes the pain can be localized around the 3rd or 4th metatarsal.
The two most common causes of this type of pain are either a stress
fracture or tendentious of a metatarsal tendon. Athletes sometimes try
and run through injuries such as heel pain, shin pain and achilles tendentious,
which leads to this condition. In severe cases, even light weight bearing
may be painful. The primary cause of of this condition is over
pronation. This can be controlled via insoles.
Other factors that can contribute to top of foot pain:
Ganglions, sacs of jelly-like fluid that develop following a leak in
the joint capsule, commonly form on the top of the foot, and can also
contribute to top of foot pain.
Morton’s
neuroma, an inflammation of the common digital nerve between adjacent
toes on the bottom of the foot, can sometimes cause top of foot pain.
If you have hammer
toes, a condition that causes your toes to appear crooked or misshapen,
can contribute to top of foot pain.
A sprained foot and other more severe conditions can also result in
top of foot pain.

Forefoot extensions prevent movement of the insert, which is important during sporting activities. Ideal for patients seeking arch support for prevention and treatment of top of the foot pain.
